My favorite open source web stats program that is completely web based
is bbclone. Of course, this package requires PHP running on your
website.
Take a quick peak of the demo at: http://bbclone.de/demo/
You can learn more about it at: http://bbclone.de/
From their features page:
BBclone is a web counter written in PHP and gives a detailed view of
the visitors of your web site by displaying the nth last users (and
the data they provided, like their IP, browser and so on) that visited
the web site, not just showing a number of visitors. This is very
handy for webmasters that want to see who is visiting their sites,
what browser people use, where they came from etc.
For each visitor, BBClone can display
*IP address,
*hostname,
*operating system,
*robots,
*browser,
*referring URL (where do they come from),
*visit date,
*number of time the visitor has loaded the page,
*number of visitor
*the visited pages in the order someone viewed them
*the last visited page
*the search engine query that lead to your site (if applicable)
*ranking of the most frequent countries, referrers, OS, browsers,
robots, page *views and hostnames
Other features include:
*Easy customisation of font sizes, number of columns and their order,
the number of icons to be displayed, duration of a unique visit.
*32 translations: Arabic, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Czech, Chinese
Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish,
French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean,
Lithuanian, Macedonian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese,
Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish
and Ukrainian
*Easy integration into MovableType, Pivot, Drupal, Textpattern,
Wordpress, e107, CMSimple, CMComplex and possibly some more
applications
*Standard Compliance: BBClone conforms to XHTML 1.0 and CSS
recommendations and doesn't lock out particular browsers or operating
systems
*no database required
*reload resistance
*hostname resolution (can be turned off)
*time statistics (either by hits or unique visits)
*proxy workaround and display
*Whois lookup of ip addresses
*exclusion of referrers coming from particular sites
*support for rel=nofollow flag in referrer links against referrer spam
*referrer filtering of the ones from the server itself
*removal of query strings to get more useful summarized rankings
*number of visits by a visitor
*logging routine optimized to run fast on most websites
*Exclusion of IPs or IP ranges from being counted
*Ranking of the most frequent keywords from search engines
*Accurate country allocation of visitors by using its own lookup database
*Visualisation of visitors by using icons
If you were not running PHP, my next suggestion would be google
analytics. Unfortunately due to high demand the service is not
accepting any new users at the moment. If you can wait a bit, I
suggest you sign up to receive an email when it is available:

Both IIS and Apache generate web logs on your server and you can
simply use a web log analyzer to sift through the logs. A good Open
Source log analyzer is AWStats. You can find more details at:
http://awstats.sourceforge.net/
Here are the features listed for AWStats:
A full log analysis enables AWStats to show you the following information:
* Number of visits, and number of unique visitors,
* Visits duration and last visits,
* Authenticated users, and last authenticated visits,
* Days of week and rush hours (pages, hits, KB for each hour and day of week),
* Domains/countries of hosts visitors (pages, hits, KB, 269
domains/countries detected, GeoIp detection),
* Hosts list, last visits and unresolved IP addresses list,
* Most viewed, entry and exit pages,
* Files type,
* Web compression statistics (for mod_gzip or mod_deflate),
* OS used (pages, hits, KB for each OS, 35 OS detected),

Quicktime reader, WMA reader, PDF reader (need to add some HTML tags

(XLF/ELF) or common (CLF), IIS log files (W3C), WebStar native log
